FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! When Vikings Attack showdown tomorrow night!

The moment you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived! Tomorrow evening we’re giving you the opportunity to get a mob together and pelt SCEE employees with rocks, chairs, trash cans, explosives, grand pianos and whatever else you can get your hands on. Come get some!

Between 5.00pm and 7.00pm GMT on Thursday 15th November, myself, Jawad from the Store team and the fearsome Yappadog from Marketing will be taking on all-comers at When Vikings Attack! – the bonkers action title that’s just emerged from our XDev studio, via developer Clever Beans.

If you haven’t had the chance to check the game out yet, it’s a multiplayer-focussed romp that sees you defending your precious homeland against gangs of Viking marauders by gathering a crew of your own and pelting the enemy with any projectile you can find. It’s a simple concept, but fiendishly addictive and, in the Blog team’s humble opinion, one of the funniest games we’ve played all year. See the trailer below for a closer look.

To join in, firstly make sure you have the game – it will set you back a trifling £7.99/€9.99 from PSN and is Cross Play compatible across PS3 and PS Vita. Once you’re tooled up, add our PSN IDs – Chuck_FD, Salty_Tier and Yappadog – and then announce your interest in the Comments section so we know who to expect. We’ll then send out invites when the time comes. Depending on how much interest there is, we may recruit a few extra SCEE folk to get involved too.

So, if you think you’ve got what it takes, leave your mark below and get practicing!

this is a brilliant idea! but what if one of you have a full friends list? anyway i dont have when viking atack! but fred you know what? i think this should be a monthly thing, one game a month! i mean team SCEE vs team costumers! oh and fred, any chance of an uncharted 3 match? me and a few others would love to kill you and the other 2 in uncharted 3 multiplayer!

Count me in. I don’t normally play online but this has got me playing – this is such great fun game, so glad I purchased it.
Question though are you going to play on PS3 or vita? Because when you send an invite to a different platform it doesn’t work (which is a bit of a disappointment) but not a big issue as we all got both versions for the one price!
Unlike Pure chess as I have the Vita version and some of my budski’s have the PS3 version and I can’t play them (real shame) especially when its a turn based game!
Anyway, can’t wait to play you guys tomorrow!

fred!!, just a quick question, ive bought the new phineas and ferb psp game last week but it wont work, it starts up but sits on the loading screen with the 2 characters in bottom right hand corner, ive uninstalled and reinstalled but still gettin the same problem, my psp is also up to date, any solution, sally

I did notice one problem whilst playing tonight- I was unable to accept your game invites via my Vita as you were sending them via your PS3’s so I had to switch over to my PS3 to continue playing (though I did start a game with Fred Vita to Vita at first but we got cut off and you moved over to PS3).
Am I missing something or can’t you accept invites from PS3 to Vita and vice versa?
